    Update…Sucess!!!

    I was able to get back into my shop today, armed with some ideas to solve my problem (well, at least this problem :rolleyes:) I pulled out my sharpening kit to determine how much...

  3. Gentlemen, thanks for the replies. I hadn’t...

    Gentlemen, thanks for the replies. I hadn’t thought about the potential problem of using the ruler trick on a bevel up plane. I can see how that could cause my problem. It might take a lot of work to...
  4. Problem cutting miters on my shooting board

    I love my shooting board for creeping up on a perfect fit. It works great when making 90 degree cuts, both edge grain and end grain. But when trimming 45 degree miters, I can’t get the same results....

    I will second the method of dehumidifying the dowels in the microwave. I use dowels a lot with a Dowelmax jig, and this is part of my workflow. Since I live less than a mile from the ocean in the...

    John, thanks for your detailed response. I may have to do some more testing. It’s interesting that the Osmo did not blend in well after you sanded down the damage and reapplied the finish, because...

    John, can you expand on the difference you found between RM and Osmo Polyx as far as water resistance? I tested 4 hard wax finishes and prefer Osmo over RM because I found it doesn’t amber woods like...

    I don’t mean to hijack this thread, but is accelerator really necessary? I use super glue fairly often, particularly for quick jigs and fixtures, but have never used accelerator. I just hold the...

    Rich, unless you have updated information that I can’t find, they are not the same. Shinmax, the original manufacturer, is suing Wahuda for rebranding the Cutech jointers in the US. It’s a very...

    Since I have limited space in my garage work shop, I decided to get a benchtop jointer. After much research, I bought the 8” Cutech. It seems to be almost identical to the Wahuda with 2 exceptions....

    Flip Top Cart

    My garage shop has limited space, so I decided to build a flip top cart for my Dewalt planer and newly acquired Cutech 8” jointer. Like many of my projects, I did some research and watched some...

    I use dowels for a lot of my joinery, with a Dowelmax jig. Since I live relatively close to the ocean in the foggy SF Bay Area, humidity often causes the dowels to swell too large. I cook them in the...

    I work out of my garage shop with limited space where a traditional workbench and vise are not an option, so my Moxon vise gets a LOT of use. I built mine based on Mike Farrington’s video. The back...

    Shoe Rack/Bench

    My wife requested a shoe rack where she could also sit down to put on her shoes, so I designed this one in Sketchup. Since the design is fairly clean and simple, I wanted some visual interest from...

    Thanks for the input gentlemen. This is the $15 version of some of the well known systems, so I’m sure they have advantages. The acrylic disc will never be as stable as a metal one, but I was pretty...
